Tier 1, 2 and 3 have been substantially higher than tiers 4+ in the last three weeks. The consistency of the top group, which is typically the top 20-23 wide outs each week, makes a convincing argument for targeting those players in trades.

TE

Tier 1 median: 2.9

Tier 2 median: 5

Tier 3 median: 4.4

Tier 4 median: 2.3

Tier 5 median: 3

There was some rhyme and reason to tier 2, 3 and 4, but the amount of variation in the TE position continues to impress me. The most plausible explanation is that tight ends tend to rely on touchdowns for fantasy production, and predicting which tight ends will catch touchdowns each week is rather hard to predict.
